BusinessNG Editorial Focus – June 30, 2025

As Nigeria’s public debt balloons past ₦144.7 trillion—up over 1,000% since 2015—BusinessNG turns its editorial spotlight on the nation’s deepening debt crisis. With the Tinubu administration pursuing another $21.5 billion in external loans, alongside yen and euro facilities, concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability and a looming sovereign default are mounting. Our June 30 edition dissects the implications of this borrowing spree, the widening debt-service burden, and its impact on inflation, public investment, and currency stability. We also explore credible alternatives to debt dependency and provide expert insight into how Nigeria can regain control of its fiscal future.
